blender to msfs2024 exports textures but no .xml files

[Haas192]

Can somebody pls help me? I exported all models with textures with no problems but with one it doesn't work... it exports textures and all necessary files for models but no xml in the texture folder...

I'd just make my own xml file.

- Remove spaces from your paths and texture files names
- If your textures are embedded in the .blend, unpack them
- source textures should be in the same drive of destination ones (exported)

I'd just make my own xml file.

How to make your own .xml file? can you give me instructions pls?

 

[Haas192]

This is what I get from blender.

How to make your own .xml file? can you give me instructions pls?

This isn't going to help here, as your issue isn't a lack of XML for the textures, it's that the textures are not found. I'm not sure how to fix this, but I think that Mamu's suggestion of getting rid of the spaces in the paths would be a good idea to start with.

 

[Haas192]

I did but still no luck... Any other ideas maybe?

When I have a Blender project, I keep the .blend, and all textures in the same working folder. If I am making an onion, I would have an onion folder on my desktop. In that folder I would have all my textures to be used and the onion.blend I would make sure all the textures in the blender file referenced only those textures in the onion folder. Now both Blender and the MSFS 2024 exporter can find those textures. And I can just drag'n'drop the onion.blend file onto my Blender icon, and it loads with the textures.

For a project that searches all over the PC for textures, I would pack the textures to the blend file and save. Then reload the .blend file and unpack, then save. That should write (unpack) all the textures to the same folder as the .blend (onion folder on the desktop in this case).

As is usual for debugging, it's best to upload a zip file to the cloud that contains all the textures used and the .blend file, and link it here. Then someone can actually pinpoint the problem.

now this is what I get when I try to export:
